When light hits an object, some wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected. The colors we see are the wavelengths that are reflected back to our eyes. Darker colors absorb more light because they reflect less, meaning more energy is taken in and converted to heat. This is why black surfaces can become much hotter than white
